*************
Before setting off to the ruins where the expedition team disappeared, Lin Xue first took us to a small town not far from the base.
The town is not big, only about a few thousand people, but the buildings beside the street look neat and modern, not like an isolated desert town at all.
The people in the town didn't seem to respond to our arrival. They just glanced at us outsiders, and then went about their own business.
I don't know why, but when I walk in this town, I always have a strange feeling.
"I didn't expect such a town to exist in the desert." Seeing the flow of people around, Qianqian couldn't help being a little surprised. Although she knew that there were people living in the desert, the problem was—this was the central area of the Taklamakan Desert! There are few people, few resources, and even the most basic drinking water can't be solved. How can a town appear in this place without making her curious.
Zheng Yiming seems to be very familiar with this place, and while leading the way in front of us, he introduced: "This town is not an ordinary place. In fact, this is a refuge—it can also be called a place of exile."
"What?" My gossip soul suddenly burned.
"The world's number one smugglers, arms dealers, deported descendants of big families, hermit masters hunted down by their enemies, and even one or two supernatural beings who made mistakes and were not allowed to leave this desert for the rest of their lives. Don't underestimate this place. Every one of them, any one of them going out could make the whole world shake."
"Ah!" Qianqian exclaimed, and then grabbed my arm tightly, and the desert residents who looked kindly around her seemed to have suddenly turned into vicious thugs in her eyes.
"Don't worry," Lin Xue patted Qianqian's shoulder reassuringly, "No matter who you are, you must be honest when you arrive in this exile town. There are a few rules in this place, first: no matter you are outside No matter how big a mistake you have made, you will be written off once you get here, that is to say, you are already 'dead'. Second: Once you come here, no one can leave here without the permission of the organization, unless you are confident that you have the ability to Escape from the pursuit of the entire organization. Third: No one here wants to cause trouble, no matter how arrogant you are outside, you are just an ordinary townsman here, otherwise—hehe, some very discord will happen anyway In addition, this town is not completely isolated from the outside world. Occasionally, some outsiders with permission will come in here, but they don't know the truth about this town. The only people who can know the truth, except the people in the organization, are There are special people like Chen Jun and you."
"Great," I smacked my lips and said, "Why do you feel like a lawless terrorist organization?"
"Cut—we are contributing to the world!" Lin Xue retorted me habitually, "Most of these guys will cause harm to human beings as long as they live in the world, but it would be a pity to kill them, so We took this approach.
"The organization provides them with shelter so that they will not be torn to pieces by their enemies or others. Correspondingly, they stay here honestly and use their abilities to serve the organization. Believe it or not, the people in front of you There are such examples among people: they direct the flow of billions of funds in the outside world through the Internet or other means, just to be able to have a full meal here safely, so this is a refuge, and at the same time The place of exile…”
sanctuary... place of exile...
I carefully understood Lin Xue's words, and carefully observed the ordinary-looking desert residents again.
From the outside, they are just the most ordinary residents, but when I observed carefully, I still found the difference in their eyes.
Some are indifferent, some are numb, some are unwilling, and some cast naked jealousy on us.
But here they can only press these emotions deeply in their hearts, trying to make themselves an ordinary desert dweller.
At this moment, "Brother, do you want an offer?" A somewhat familiar bass came from not far away.
"Crack—" My body instantly petrified.
Accompanied by the sound of "squeaks and creaks", I turned my already stiff neck, and then a figure of a knight-faced man dressed like the Matrix came into view, selling pirated disks to passers-by.
… Sikaro, an excellent commander of the empire, was sentenced to death by the emperor on December 6, 2010. The charge: being too idiotic.
Kidding…
But I really want to do it, bastard! Are you really the commander of Xiling Empire? Are you really not an extra who comes out to make fun of you, or an undercover agent sent by the enemy to mess things up? Didn't you receive a little intelligence training in the military? Can't you think of a better way to hide your identity than wearing a Matrix suit all the way to sell CDs? !
At this moment, I no longer have any hope for the IQ of this knight-faced uncle.
"Huh? Why do I feel that the uncle who bought the order is so familiar?" Lin Xue, who had seen Cicaro in the car by chance, said to herself strangely.
The crux of the problem is not here, is it? The crux of the problem is how could there be an uncle who bought pirated disks in this place, right
"No—how could there be such a person here?!" Zheng Yiming reacted first, "Catch him!"
"Wait!" I hurriedly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xue asked me strangely, "Do you know this person?"
I'm so stupid, why make a noise!
Facing Lin Xue's probing eyes, I quickly organized my inner words, but how can I explain the relationship between this uncle who sells pirated CDs in the town of exile and me
"He is brother's friend." Pandora said suddenly.
... Pandora, do you know that I am trying to find a way to distance myself from this uncle who seems suspicious at first glance!
"It's also a supernatural person." Pandora continued to break the news.
"What?!" Lin Xue, Lin Feng, and Zheng Yiming exclaimed in unison. These days, are supernatural beings worthless? How come a suspicious uncle who buys pirated disks on the street can become a supernatural person
At this time, Pandora's voice came through the spiritual connection: "Sicaro is an imperial officer who is very good at position defense warfare, and his own combat effectiveness cannot be ignored. I hope that he can join us in our later operations—I think This incident is not that simple, it is always good to have an extra layer of insurance.”
"Chen Jun," Lin Xue's voice interrupted my conversation with Pandora, "Do you know this person? Is he really a supernatural being?"
"Well... that's right!" I replied in a panic, and then said with a flash of inspiration: "He will increase blood!"
"ha?"
A few minutes later, it is said that it will increase blood... Ahem, it is Sikaro who can heal abilities and walks with us.
"Chen Jun, is this guy really okay?" Lin Xue asked with some concern while looking at the knight-faced uncle who was selling pirated disks along the way, "Suddenly let a person of unknown origin join."
"I can guarantee with my personality, he is absolutely reliable!"
"A psychic who likes to travel accidentally got lost while visiting the Taklamakan Desert, strayed into an exile town protected by layers of psychic groups, and was reduced to selling pirated CDs for a living—do you think I should believe it? And that weird Your name, Sicaro, doesn’t sound like your real name?” Lin Xue was still full of distrust for this uncle who dared to sell pirated CDs in the town of exile, but in the end she sighed and said, “Forget it, anyway. My intuition tells me that this person can be trusted, and I hope my ability doesn't lie to me this time."
"Who are we going to find?" Qianqian finally couldn't hold back anymore, "We're almost at the end of the town, when are we going to go to the ruins? One day later, my father will be in more danger!"
"Don't worry," Lin Feng smiled gently, "The person we are looking for now is very important. Without his help, I'm afraid we would have disappeared in that ruins like your father."
"Who is so powerful?" I asked curiously, "Could it be someone with supernatural abilities?"
Lin Xue shook her head and said, "No, he is just an ordinary old man, but he has an extraordinary thing, that thing has the power to stabilize the ruins—it's a pity that the expedition team really believed in the so-called modern science , their disdain for the mystical powers led to accidents."
